"We are excited to open a new HomeGoods in State College," president Ken Canestrari said in a news release. "With value playing a critical role in consumers' shopping decisions, we are confident that our off-price concept of offering high-quality home fashions at incredible values will make HomeGoods a welcome addition to the area."

The first 400 shoppers at the State College store on June 10 for the Grand Opening will receive a free reusable HomeGoods shopping bag.

In an effort to support local job growth, HomeGoods plans to fill its 60 full and part-time positions by hiring people from the area.

Regular store hours will be Monday through Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.
